What guests think
Reviews for Americas Best Value Inn Elm Creek are mixed: several guests praise the friendly management, clean rooms, and convenient highway location, while others report a range of problems affecting comfort and reliability.
Common complaints include dirty linens and rooms, odors, pests (bugs and even a rat), and bird droppings on walkways. Multiple reviews cite no hot water, weak heating or AC, limited TV channels, broken fixtures, uncomfortable beds or thin pillows, and occasional lack of Wi-Fi. The roadside setting next to truck stops is convenient for a quick stop, but noise varies, and on-site breakfast, coffee, ice, and vending are frequently unavailable or out of order. Expect a very basic overnight stay with friendly staff but inconsistent quality.

This hotel should not be listed on Expedia. It is way below minimum standards for listing. Some problems noted were: littered parking lot, shower was dirty, hot and cold water faucets were reversed, no cable, television would not turn off, air conditioning did not work, cigarette butts scattered, overflowing trash receptacles, coffee in lobby which staff could not get to work, and general overall rundown conditions. We most definitely would never return. We have been to many lower rated hotels, which turned out to be totally acceptable, but this hotel was not at all. The only positive thing was a clean comfortable bed.

We were in a pet friendly room. The floor had dried dog pee by the bathroom door. A better job of mopping would have fixed that. Otherwise, the room was clean and beds comfortable. We were traveling with a dog, and there was a grassy area with clean up bags provided.

We decided to go a little farthur so we booked for 1st time. We just wanted to get in. Go to bed and wake up and go. It was clean but no vending, no ice, not even a bucket. Told to go to Truck Stop and buy my own ice. More expencive than our unual Super 8 Ogalalla, NB. Next to truck stop noisy with trucks going buy all night. Lot of construction workers staying long term to work on road. Outside making noise drinking and having a good time. I like a good time but we were there to sleep and go early.

It wasn't filthy, but: - The front desk was never staffed (one key left with my name and room number on the counter) - so we never had wifi (never saw an employee) - breakfast area is tiny, and the juice machine and coffee maker both have "out of order" signs - there's a coffee maker in the room but no coffee or filters - tears in fitted sheets - hard, uncomfortable bed - two thin, hard pillows - there was a plastic bag over the smoke detector - there was bird poop all over the sidewalk outside our door Maybe the weirdest thing at this mostly abandoned motel with only two truckstops to keep it company: There was a creepy guy parked in the parking lot, who came over to me to ask if I had already reserved my room (which I had just used a key card to get into.) he didn't respond when I politely responded "yes, I do have a room, why do you ask?" but simply asked the question again two or three more ways. His truck moved around the parking lot several times, and was still parked there in the morning. Seemed like maybe he was hooking. Absolutely would just keep driving in the future.

When I initially entered the room, a rat ran from the middle of the room to behind the dresser. When complaining to the desk attendant, she thought nothing of it as if this was not the first time she heard this complaint. She gave me another key to another room, when I entered it was already occupied. 3rd room I rcvd I felt very paranoid. Room, outside area was filthy, nothing in the area except a truckstop. DO NOT GO HERE

The carpet was gross under your feet. We had to have shoes on the whole time. The bathroom wall had something all over it. The bathtub was not clean. There was hair in it. The ceiling paint was falling off. If it wasn’t for a late night arrival and a non-refundable fee, I would have left instantly. I’ve never been in something so gross.

Reserved king and it wasn't avaliable, had to settle for 2 doubles. We veiwed 2 rooms to accept that one. 1st one wasn't even cleaned. The bed were not comfortable. Pillows were small and should be replaced as well as the stained sheets. I wouldn't stay here again. The lady at the front desk was pleasant and did the best she could with what she had.

For the price this place was amazing. Hot water, A/C, king size bed, clean linens. I even got a microwave and refrigerator. For the most part the room was quiet except for the birds in the morning but that didn't bother me much. It's not a place for everyone but for the price and a one night rest it was great and I would stay again.

His truck moved around the parking lot several times, and was still parked there in the morning. Seemed like maybe he was hooking. Absolutely would just keep driving in the future.

It wasn't filthy, but: - The front desk was never staffed (one key left with my name and room number on the counter) - so we never had wifi (never saw an employee) - breakfast area is tiny, and the juice machine and coffee maker both have "out of order" signs - there's a coffee maker in the room but no coffee or filters - tears in fitted sheets - hard, uncomfortable bed - two thin, hard pillows - there was a plastic bag over the smoke detector - there was bird poop all over the sidewalk outside our door Maybe the weirdest thing at this mostly abandoned motel with only two truckstops to keep it company: There was a creepy guy parked in the parking lot, who came over to me to ask if I had already reserved my room (which I had just used a key card to get into.) he didn't respond when I politely responded "yes, I do have a room, why do you ask?" but simply asked the question again two or three more ways. His truck moved around the parking lot several times, and was still parked there in the morning. Seemed like maybe he was hooking. Absolutely would just keep driving in the future.

It was all very clean, it seems that there is a new owner, and he’s really nice. He was very considerate and made sure all our needs were met. I had a great time there.

No one was at the front desk when we arrived. Had to call motel to speak with someone, he was not even on the property would not be back for at least 15 minutes. The least he could have done was left a note on the door stating when he would return.

Right off I-80 and beside truck stops, convenient for an overnight break. Surroundings are sparse and noise varies from quiet for some to truck traffic for others.

When I initially entered the room, a rat ran from the middle of the room to behind the dresser. When complaining to the desk attendant, she thought nothing of it as if this was not the first time she heard this complaint. She gave me another key to another room, when I entered it was already occupied. 3rd room I rcvd I felt very paranoid. Room, outside area was filthy, nothing in the area except a truckstop. DO NOT GO HERE

We decided to go a little farthur so we booked for 1st time. We just wanted to get in. Go to bed and wake up and go. It was clean but no vending, no ice, not even a bucket. Told to go to Truck Stop and buy my own ice. More expencive than our unual Super 8 Ogalalla, NB. Next to truck stop noisy with trucks going buy all night. Lot of construction workers staying long term to work on road. Outside making noise drinking and having a good time. I like a good time but we were there to sleep and go early.

The wife and I were just tired and for $60, it was perfect for just an overnight stay. Check in was super easy and quick, front lobby was clean, the room was clean and comfortable, and the shower was hot. Woke up refreshed and ready to finish the drive home.

This motel is a hidden gem. Owner lives on property and maintains it well. Clean, quiet and right off I/80 within 1/4 mile. You won't regret your stay.

For the price this place was amazing. Hot water, A/C, king size bed, clean linens. I even got a microwave and refrigerator. For the most part the room was quiet except for the birds in the morning but that didn't bother me much. It's not a place for everyone but for the price and a one night rest it was great and I would stay again.

This hotel should not be listed on Expedia. It is way below minimum standards for listing. Some problems noted were: littered parking lot, shower was dirty, hot and cold water faucets were reversed, no cable, television would not turn off, air conditioning did not work, cigarette butts scattered, overflowing trash receptacles, coffee in lobby which staff could not get to work, and general overall rundown conditions. We most definitely would never return. We have been to many lower rated hotels, which turned out to be totally acceptable, but this hotel was not at all. The only positive thing was a clean comfortable bed.
